Way too many words are linked in this article. "Work"? C'mon.

  • If someone can add authoritive info on when the term originated (and how), it would be nice.

[edit] KEEP this article

This article is a valid topic, because "Eurotrash" is a frequently used pejorative term and deserving of more than a mere dictionary entry. However, the current version needs to be greatly overhauled. 68.101.130.214 (talk) 05:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong definition

Maybe I'm way off, but my belief and understanding of the term Eurotrash is not associated with wealth, which is how the article reads. I'm not big on stereotypes, but if I had to characterize how others would use the term Eurotrash is some one who is kind of a free loader, hanging on with whoever will let him stay or eat, always smoking, tight clothes, usually not washed, a bit disheveled and, of course, European. I don't know anyone who associates Eurotrash with wealth. In my view, it's kind of the opposite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindsay123 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

The article is written from a very American perspective and the term has very different meanings in other places. At the very least a link to the disambiguation page should be added at the start of the article. Any American wanting to understand the British meaning of the term should read Eurotrash (TV series). I've no idea what it means to Canadians or Australians. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 11:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
